What it is
{"overview":"The Contessa Nettix is an early plate camera produced by Contessa-Nettel of Stuttgart in the early twentieth century. With no recent comparables, today's market value is difficult to fix, and any current sells-for figure should be treated as indicative only until further auction results emerge.","buying_guide":"On any plate camera of this age, inspect the bellows for pinholes, the shutter for sticking or inaccurate timings, and the leather covering and woodwork for separation or worm.

Questions
Is the Contessa Nettix a collectible camera?
It is of interest mainly to collectors of pre-Zeiss Ikon German plate cameras, and value is driven primarily by condition of the bellows, shutter and lens rather than by the model name alone.
